New Delhi [India], October 31 : Union Minister of State for Communications, Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani, visited Sanchar Bhawan on Friday and reviewed the cleanliness measures undertaken in the premises under the Swachhata Campaign or Special Campaign 5.0, a press release from the Ministry of Communications said.
During his visit, Pemmasani toured various office areas, including corridors, work sections, and the Departmental Library, and interacted with officers and staff. He appreciated the ongoing efforts made by the Department to maintain cleanliness and improve the overall work environment.

Pemmasani highlighted that Swachhata is not merely a cleanliness drive but a step toward realising the Prime Minister's mission of a clean and developed India by 2047. He encouraged officers to continue these efforts beyond the campaign period, ensuring that the spirit of cleanliness and efficiency remains an integral part of daily functioning.
The Union Minister of State commended the collective participation of officers and staff and expressed satisfaction over the Department's proactive approach to maintaining a clean, efficient and responsive administrative ecosystem.
